Proper pruning enhances the beauty of almost any landscape tree and shrub, while improper pruning can ruin or greatly reduce its landscape potential. In most cases, it is better not to prune than to do it incorrectly. In nature, plants go years with little or no pruning, but man can ruin what nature has created. By using improper pruning methods healthy plants are often weakened or deformed. In nature, every plant eventually is pruned in some manner. It may be a simple matter of low branches being shaded by higher ones resulting in the formation of a collar around the base of the branch restricting the flow of moisture and nutrients. Eventually the leaves wither and die and the branch then drops off in a high wind or storm. Often, tender new branches of small plants are broken off by wild animals in their quest for food. In the long run, a plant growing naturally assumes the shape that allows it to make the best use of light in a given location and climate. All one needs to do to appreciate a plant's ability to adapt itself to a location is to walk into a wilderness and see the beauty of natural growing plants. Pruning, like any other skill, requires knowing what you are doing to achieve success. The old idea that anyone with a chain saw or a pruning saw can be a landscape pruner is far from the truth. More trees are killed or ruined each year from improper pruning than by pests. Remember that pruning is the removal or reduction of certain plant parts that are not required, that are no longer effective, or that are of no use to the plant. It is done to supply additional energy for the development of flowers, fruits, and limbs that remain on the plant. Pruning, which has several definitions, essentially involves removing plant parts to improve the health, landscape effect, or value of the plant. Once the objectives are determined and a few basic principles understood, pruning primarily is a matter of common sense. The necessity for pruning can be reduced or eliminated by selecting the proper plant for the location. Plants that might grow too large for the site, are not entirely hardy, or become unsightly with age should be used wisely and kept to a minimum in the landscape plan. Advances in plant breeding and selection in the nursery industry provide a wide assortment of plants requiring little or no pruning. However, even the most suitable landscape plants often require some pruning. The guidelines presented in this publication should be helpful when pruning any plant.

Most of the tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and other perishable vegetables won't keep long enough if they aren't preserved so what would you do if electricity and canning lids were not available to preserve these vegetables throughout the season when your garden is not producing? This is why I wrote this book to teach you how to grow vegetables that need no special storage methods, vegetables that your ancestors knew would keep without canning and refrigeration. These same vegetables contain enough nutritious calories to sustain you through those nonproductive months.I will also teach you the proper propagation method for each vegetable so that you can maintain a harvest year after year no matter whether there is availability or not in the traditional marketplace.

Raised bed gardening is the type of gardening wherein the soil bed is raised for about 6 inches or waist high before planting. Unlike traditional gardening, raised bed gardening is not directly planting the crops on the ground but creating boxes of plots first before planting. There are many advantages of raised bed gardening and one of the main advantages is the fact that it offers stress-free planting and harvesting of the crops. Since the soil bed is raised waist high, gardeners do not have to bend down much in order to plant or harvest their crops.
